Care: Do not place the lamp in direct sunlight or over a direct heat source: radiators, vents or too near a fireplace. Smoke, ashes and heat will damage the lamp. Dust vinyl with a clean, dry, cloth or with a small amount of furniture polish. Compressed air can also be used. Avoid touching the surface of the shade—oil marks from fingers are difficult to remove. Lamp comes equipped with a 3-way socket which allows you to use a 3-way bulb but, a one way bulb will work as well.
